I've a plethora of assignments to complete for all of my courses this weekend, but all I want to do is curl up with a mug of кофе и моя собака to read Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (Преступление и наказание). I'll be taking a Russian literature course next semester, but don't think this novel will be featured. I've just begun the work, so I haven't much to say on it just yet.
Another distraction of mine this weekend? Finishing the film, Roads to Koktebel (Koktebel). It chronicles the somber journey of a father and son from Moscow to Koktebel, and I need to watch the second half. What I've watched thus far has left me with a terrible feeling of foreboding, but I'm not sure what awful event is going to occur. The father is unemployed and attempting to stave off his alcohol addiction, while the son is quite independent, having primarily raised himself. I'll report back on what unfolds. Oh, thank you Netflix for providing me with Russian language films to watch on my computer!
Here's the trailer for Koktebel, and I'm off to do a bit of reading!
